Would be cool to implement some sort of scent-trail mechanics so ants would seek weakneses in your defence and avoid places they die alot!\n\nAlso I would make user feedback more of a priority so it is obvious what is happening even if some mechanics are broken.","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":[],"links":[],"metadata":{"g_key":"39633","g_author":"1000385","g_event":"LD38","g_eventkey":"69","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"237962","g_title":"Picnic Defense","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"1","g_site2_node_id":"24284","g_hide":"Y","g_has_icon":"N","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"24284","n_urlkey":"237962","n_parent":"9405","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/38\/picnic-defense","n_slug":"picnic-defense","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"385","n_created":"1492951023","n_modified":"1493058910","n_version":"51512","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":24284,"parent":9405,"superparent":9,"author":385,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-04-24T18:35:10Z","created":"2017-04-23T12:37:03Z","modified":"2017-04-24T18:35:10Z","version":51512,"slug":"picnic-defense","name":"Picnic Defense","body":"![Picnic Defense Thumbnail.jpg](\/\/\/raw\/181\/z\/1459.jpg)\nhttps:\/\/eldy.itch.io\/picnic-defense\n\nA tower defense made for Ludum Dare 38.
